As small business owners, we must constantly think and rethink our company's future and direction. We deal with the unknown, make decisions with limited information, monitor and reallocate our limited resources frequently. As the facts and circumstances change, previous decisions need to be re-evaluated. Research and better information enable us to make more informed decisions, thereby decreasing risks. We help small business owners assimilate new information into their plans and show the impact the new information has on the plan. We help clients stay focused on delivering the plan.

Creative assists clients to allocate their resources wisely. When clients hit roadblocks, we help find alternatives that will enable clients to navigate the roadblocks while minimizing the loss of resources. Creative assists clients understand the critical path that must be taken, develops benchmarks and monitors performance against these benchmarks. We provide accountability.

We all recognize that it is impossible to predict the future with any degree of accuracy. Many of us recognize that we must take steps to create our future if we are to have the future we envision. Creative helps clients achieve results.

Rent
A CFO

Proper planning is a prerequisite of surviving the high start-up failure rate we see in this country. Improper planning causes entrepreneurs to be reactive instead of proactive, thereby impeding a business from achieving its potential. A healthy cash flow is an essential part of any successful business. Many entrepreneurs do not understand concepts such as cash flow and the importance of their financial projections. They just don't have a grasp on the numbers and fail when they "run out of money." That often occurs because it took longer to achieve objectives, it costs more to obtain clients, per client profitability is less than anticipated or risks were not properly evaluated.

At Creative, we focus on cash flow. Since cash flow problems cripple so many small businesses its importance cannot be overstated. Everyday operations suffer because your efforts are concentrated on crisis management, collecting money on outstanding invoices to meet your financial obligations or getting financing. Sales can suffer. Morale can suffer. Needed capital improvements are delayed or canceled. If a company fails to have sufficient cash to pay its employees, suppliers, creditors, they are out of business.

Creative, on an outsourcing basis, acts as a Rent A CFO to small businesses in need of financial acumen and financial maturity that a chief financial officer provide, but cannot afford such a person on a full time basis.

Mr. Bocian sits on the loan committee for one of its' funding sources. This position enables Creative to provide practical financing solutions to obtaining appropriate financing.

Most small business owners dedicate their lives to their business. However, one or two external events and/or bad decisions can severely damage their ability to conduct business as usual. These bad external events or decisions may include:

Changes in the economy or within the industry

Miscalculating or not understanding the ramifications of certain business and non-business risks

Not understanding the impact of assumptions when preparing projections

Poor financial controls

Poor cash flow management

Poor credit extension and collections policies

Poor inventory controls

Excessive spending

Miscalculation of market acceptance of new or existing products or services

Not understanding the sales cycle

Miscalculation of ramp-up or roll-out timeframes

Litigation

Creative works with the small business owner to try to negotiate, restructure and/or "work out" obligations. Restructuring debt, or a "workout," involves an action plan beginning with "stopping the bleeding" through negotiating with creditors. The primary goal is to ease the company's cash crunch, while putting the company back on track, without costly litigation. In many cases, the troubled company can still maintain a working relationship with its existing suppliers.

If the creditor feels that the entrepreneur is disingenuous and is using workout as a ploy to circumvent payment, this approach will not work. Workouts are appropriate when the entrepreneur has been acting truthfully with its suppliers/creditors.

Many owners of troubled companies view bankruptcy as a way to reorganize debt and operate as a more efficient company, post bankruptcy. While larger companies with professionals at the helm take full advantage of the bankruptcy laws, the realities are that very few smaller companies that file for Chapter 11 protection (bankruptcy reorganization) emerge from bankruptcy. Generally the company will be liquidated.

When a company files for bankruptcy, it is not unusual to see a combination of deteriorating sales, collections and productivity, further jeopardizing the company's viability. It is common that customers of the bankrupt company look for other suppliers in anticipation of liquidation, hereby decreasing the bankrupt company's viability. When this occurs, the bankrupt company is, generally, required to liquidate.

Unlike a bankruptcy, a workout is not a matter of public record. In a workout, there are no major events or disclosures that trigger action that could negatively impact a business by its customers, creditors or employees. Since customers are not informed of a workout, customers are less likely to look for other suppliers. Further, workouts do not require financial and other disclosures that may be available to potential customers, existing customers and creditors. Workouts do not require a plan of reorganization be filed and approved by creditors or through the court.

Mr. Bocian has advised both debtors and creditors on loan restructures and workouts. He has advised or successfully restructured on more than $150,000,000 of debt.
